Command+Tab = View all the applications you have open. Try it now. See how easy it is to flick between applications? Awesome. Oh, and if you keep the command button pressed, you can keep pressing the tab button until you’ve selected the application you want. And also, if you press the Q key when an application is highlighted, it’ll quit.

Command+`(top left key on keybord) = Switch window within your current application. Very useful when you have two word documents open, and you keep on switching between the two.

Shift+Control+Command+4 = Snapshot, or Screenshot, or whatever you want to call it. This is very, VERY useful. The cursor will turn into a set of sights. Click and drag over an area, and when you release it the image will be copied into memory. Then all you have to do is either open Preview and press Command+N to open a new file. Preview will automatically open the snapshot you just took.

Fiction Editor Mario Zambrano reviews non-fiction subject matter particularly dear to my heart. I hope his commentary will spark response and healthy debate, not only from 12th Street staff, but all those students and faculty who wish to weigh in.
